Groundhog Day - Playing Nancy Lyrics

"Playing Nancy" is a song from Groundhog Day the musical performed by Rebecca Faulkenberry (Nancy)

Well here I am againThe pretty but naïve oneThe perky-breasted, giggly one night standIs it my destiny to beA brief diversionJust a detour on the journey of some man?

I'm not really one for askin'I'll play whatever role I'm cast inWill smile with perfect teethAnd grimace underneathI learned back in my teensThere's no point in protestin'If you look good in tight jeansThat's what they'll want you dressed inOnce you're known for low-cut topsIt's pretty hard to stopIt isn't easy to break freeOf playing Nancy

I don't really rememberI guess I chose to be hereI wasn't quite aware thatI was put here to be stared atBut this world I chose to live inIs mostly run by menSo you take what you are givenJust to feel the love againSo throughout the endless weekAnd all through the weekendYou will find me herePlaying Nancy

And look, I know this person fits meI'm pretty good at being prettyAnd I'm grateful, I mean to sayThere are worse roles you can playAnd I'd rather be up dancingThan sad against a wallIt's better to be leered atThan not desired at allWho am I to dream of betterTo dream that one day I will beSomething more than just collateralIn someone else's battleI will beSomething more than Nancy
